How is the balance? Is it awkward or hard to control when using with one hand? Thank you for the information.

This was a gift for my daughter but her and I have both used it. Neither of us have had any problems with the balance, and have always used with one hand without difficulty.

Actually it's lighter than my old Black and Decker Dustbuster that "bit the dust"! The suction is superior and it's easy to use.

Not at all. I never felt that it was unbalanced and I usually use it one handed. I've never tried to use it two-handed.

Haven't had any problems using it with one hand. The charge lasts a long time and recharges quickly. Cleaning it out frequently keeps the suction. I haven't tried using it on anything but the usual crumbs and dirt in cracks and crevices but would use a bigger vacuum on any large messes. Great product.

It depends on how long you're gonna to use it or it may just a personally issue since I seldom do the household work. 5 mins is fine for me and the power can only keep for around 10 mins (fully charged) anyway. So it may not brother others. Besides, it's not very helpful on cleaning the carpet. Other material is ok though.

Its really not heavy at all. Should be easy even for a 10 yr old to use with one hand. My only problem is the suction isnt great and that the filters are pricey. I wish they would make reusable filters.

I find this to be light weight and the balance to be very good. I am right handed and having arthritis in this hand; and, I've had no difficulty controlling it with one hand.

Yes, It can be held with one hand. However the speed is controlled by a "wheel" which is hard not to accidentally change while using it. I would not purchase this again.

As long as you have a good grasp of it then you wont notice it too much. For me the price and quality of it made it a great purchase. Its been 3 months since I've had mine and I still have no complaints. It will feel unbalanced in weight when just holding it but i guess depending on what workout you do it might bug you. For me it was the bang for buck.

It is easy to remove with one hand. I usually use both hands to stabilize, but not really necessary.

Very smooth, love the feel. Pretty easy to use one handed, the size of the phone is the only complication there. But I would say yes, easy to use one handed.

Not really, but I think it will depend on how you use it. It's actually pretty neat, I just find it a bit difficult to use with one hand specially when it's full, but from all the time that I've been using it, just 1 or 2 times a little drop slided to the outside.

I tried it with one hand and couldn't do it. You'd have to have a big enough hand to hold the can in place with your thumb and forefinger, while bringing the handle down into the cutting position with your other fingers. I couldn't do it, so no I would say it would be difficult if not impossible for a one-handed person to operate. A different design would be needed to address that situation.

I think it is intended for 2 hands. I suppose if you had very large hands you could reach over and move the lever while still holding it (I can't with my small hands), but it would not be easy. Or like the other person said, tuck it under your arm. The lever is not hard to move (I actually like the control it gives) but it is not placed well for one-handed use.

It's very light and easy to hold in one hand, so yes. I've done it with no problems.

I am sitting at the monitor right now. Grabbing one side to adjust it is relative easy, but I agree with one of the other responders, making the adjustment is safer with 2 hands.

The directions say to use both hands, one with your thumb on the switch and the other on the other side if the handle to kept it steady. That's how I did it since I'm not strong. I think you might be able to hold it with one hand - it's lightweight - but you'd have to have one strong hand and arm and be careful.

Not too bad, you do have to hold it away from the leg but I don't find it to bothersome unless you going for long periods of time. I normally switch hands during the process. While I love this blower and it has plenty of power, I don't think it has the power of a two stroke.

It will get tiring if you're just trying to use one hand... but if you position the handle properly (eg. I'm 5'4" so needed to mount the handle lower), and use good body mechanics (eg. no reaching and/or overextending), this thing is effortless.

I am careful when using something like this. I only use it on occasion. Yes, my hands feel the impact, if I exceed an occasional use. I think this is a product that is best avoided for those of us that have hand issues--or possibly if we are collecting social security because we qualify with our age. :O)

It is easy to raise and lower...but not one handed. One hand needs to squeeze the lever. the other hand guides the table up or down. Very little effort is needed.

I haven't weighted it, but I have problems with my hands, and I have NO problem using this mixer. Luv it!!

None at all, unless balance is an issue for you now I wouldn't be to worried. If the right side was high on a side walk and left side was low on the street, I guess there is a possibility of flipping but all in all, flipping is something I would hold me back from at least trying it out. It seemed very stable to us. My two year old was playing on it. And if she can't flip it over I'd like to meet the person who can because she's the roughest toughest girl I know
